Crushed from high quality rock ore, RZG garnet consists of totally natural almandine rock garnet angular grains known for its natural hardness, durability and abrasive characteristics. The 4 times of proper crushing during high standard process produces very sharp angular grains,providing more superior cutting speed than other garnet abrasives. The full computer-controlled process ensures 4 times crushing, 6 times washing, 3 times magnetic separation and 4 times screen, ensuring the highest standard of quality and meeting most stringent industrial and military requirements.
Benefits of using RZG garnet for abrasive blasting
◆RZG garnet grains cut deep into the cavities and pitted areas down to the metal. The blasted surface is free of embedments and free of rogue peaks and troughs. Sa 3 White Metal is effortlessly achieved.
◆The angular grains of RZG garnet provide much higher cutting speed and much lower material consumption than other beach garnet abrasive at same air-pressure, same nozzle size and grain size with proper controlled abrasive flow rate and etc.
◆Blasting with RZG garnet 30/60mesh, a surface profile up to 85μm is easily achieved along a much greater number of peaks per unit area. This ensures much higher painting adhesion strength and longer painting life time. Much coarser RZG garnet 20/40 mesh is available for higher surface profile request.
◆RZG garnet is thoroughly washed for 6 times consuming over 580 cubic meters clean water during wet process, ensuring industry leading low salt contamination with conductivity below 8 mS/m and soluble chloride below 4ppm which are all far beyond industry standard. Low chloride level and conductivity of RZG garnet abrasive reduce the risk of contamination to the blasted surface and increase the painting life time.
◆RZG garnet is extremely clean with turbidity of 60-90NTU which is highest standard in Rock garnet abrasive.
◆RZG garnet can be recycled up to 3-8 times depending on the application because of its superior toughness and low friability.
◆RZG garnet is non-toxic. There is no silicosis hazard (typical less than 0.1% free silica), leachable heavy metals or radioactive contaminants, meeting with all safe environmental and health conditions.
◆RZG garnet is free of metallic iron, making it suitable for all areas of surface preparation including carbon steel, stainless steel, alumina, copper and all other alloys.
RZG garnet is a cost effective alternative to silica sand, copper slag, nickel slag, staurolite, olivine, crushed glass, glass beads, Brown Fused Alumina, PS ball, steel grit and steel shot because of its low consumption and high productivity.
